Verdict

The Logitech G304 Lightspeed is a high-performance wireless gaming mouse featuring the HERO sensor with a 200–12,000 DPI range, 400 IPS tracking speed, and 40G maximum acceleration. It utilizes Lightspeed wireless technology for a 1ms report rate and offers exceptional battery life, lasting up to 250 hours in performance mode on a single AA battery. Weighing approximately 99g with a compact, six-button ambidextrous design, its main pros include its professional-grade sensor accuracy, lag-free wireless connection, and extreme energy efficiency. However, notable cons include its reliance on non-rechargeable AA batteries, a slightly rear-heavy weight balance, and a lack of RGB lighting which may not appeal to all gamers.
